Basic InformationWe are a proudly progressive and thriving congregation of the United Church of Christ. We believe that whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here. We invite you to bring your own understanding of what it means to be on that journey of faith and join us as we strive boldly to live out our own faith in the world through social justice, enlightening education, enlivening worship, and of course, community.

Youth

We are an energetic and compassionate group made up of 7th – 12th graders. Our goal is to enhance our experience within the church and outside of the church. By doing community service, engaging in interfaith activities, and walking together on our spiritual journeys, our youth group is constantly evolving.

ACTIVITIES

Sundays: Sunday School takes place during our 11:00 am service. We all participate in the beginning of the service and then move to the youth room for in-depth discussion of the scripture and lesson. After Sunday School, the youth group will either continue the discussion over lunch or embark on an adventure. Some activities in the past have included the Crop Hunger Walk, All-Church Picnics, or visits to other faith communities such as the Pao Fa Buddhist Temple. We are always looking for new ways to give back to our community while exploring what it means to be Christians in today’s world.

During the year: We have five overnights a year where we spend the night at the church to bond and prepare for an event on the following Sunday. In the past we have prepared for a rather successful bake sale, raising $600 for camp scholarships, and led Youth Sundays with varying themes.

We are an open and accepting group that is ever-changing. We invite all youth, between the grades of 7-12 to join us on Sunday to see what we are all about.
